~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #254 – Spiritual Sites ~


This week Tina has challenged us to show through our photography, sites that represent spirituality to us. In my life, natural environments have always provided a profound sense of connection with my inner self and the world as a whole. For this challenge I’m focusing on the spiritual lessons of water.

“Water is a representation of wisdom, peace, and purity. The spiritual meaning of water lies in its reflection of the human spirit and the interconnection of all creations.”

“As a symbol of life, water represents divine generosity. Indeed, it’s a personification of healing and suffering, protection and vulnerability, change and constancy, stillness and rage. Water in all its glory is considered a purifier of the soul.”

“To be like water, we need to be fluid; we need to change and grow from the circumstances of life. Furthermore, we need to imbibe the formless, calm, and conscious nature of the water.”

“In essence, water is the life force that centers our spirit and our body, signifying wisdom and conscious awareness. Take time to ponder the spiritual meaning of water and celebrate its gifts on earth.”

On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾

Thank you Tina, for this beautiful challenge. I’ve enjoyed the many offerings of other Lens-Artist followers. Such a treat!

      Thank you, Tina. As it happens, right now I’m in my sister and brother-in-laws boat on Odell Lake, central Oregon. Fish aren’t biting, however it’s a beautiful day in lovely surroundings!
